That would be true in normal times.
The gas prices today are near $4,
and that silver dime is worth $2.88 today.

Again, it’s a good theory to look at, but gas prices are outside the norm at this point.

I like when Glenn Beck uses the "good suit" comparison. A good suit costs about what an ounce of gold costs.

Although, good suits are a lot cheaper than they used to be. And the gas prices reflect worse things than inflation.

You know, we should come up with a solid comparison object or commodity. I can't think of one right now. Pound of hamburger? A whole chicken?

A gallon of milk might be good--fuel drives up the price of milk, but in a way that it drives the cost of everything else, so the variable would be flat.

Any other ideas?
